About this studio
Arthur Murray Dance Studio Glastonbury teaches ballroom and Latin dance to absolute beginners and experienced dancers alike. The studio specializes in partner dances across more than 30 styles, using what it calls the Arthur Murray Method—a system designed to get you dancing on your very first lesson.
You can take lessons as a single person (the studio pairs you with an instructor), as a couple, or specifically for wedding dances. The studio's method is built around answering your goals and the look and feel you want, then guiding you through basics with a certified instructor. You leave with a plan of action for the next few sessions. The studio emphasizes that most students start as total beginners, and that no partner or prior experience is required.
Specific styles taught include LA Style Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Cha Cha, Waltz, Swing (East Coast, Lindy Hop, West Coast), Argentine Tango, Tango Vals, Milonga, and Two-Step. For wedding dances, the studio offers choreography, lead-and-follow instruction, or a combination of both. They also offer music editing as part of wedding dance lessons. The studio recommends starting wedding lessons several months in advance, but says it's never too late even if the wedding is coming up soon.
